Salima Sugar pays Wanderers three months’ arrears

Salima Sugar Company has settled three-month arrears which the company owed Blantyre Based Club, Mighty Mukuru Wanderers amounting to K15 million following the expiry of their contract agreement.

The contract between the two sides expired in March this year and the Salima Sugar Company decided to pull out of the deal citing business decisions before taking over the rookies, Dedza Dynamos just weeks later.

The company’s secretary general, Dr Charles Thupi has confirmed the development with a local media house saying they need to turn their attention to their new partners, Dedza Dynamos.

“We have cleared our balance amounting to K15 million that we owed Mighty Wanderers. We need to concentrate on our deal with Dedza Dynamos,” said Thupi.

Meanwhile, Mighty Wanderers Secretary to the board, Humphreys Mvula has confirmed the receipt of the money.

“We have received money from Salima Sugar but they still owe us some money. We will still push on to have that money in our hands,” said Mvula.

Last month Mvula accused Salima Sugar Company of breach of contract.

Humphreys Mvula said Salima Sugar already renewed the contract in March.

Mvula said, “Its not a question of not renewing the contract. After the expiry of the contract in March, we jointly confirmed that the contract has been renewed.

” They (Salima) maintained the sum of K60 Million and promised additional package such as technical equipment and uniforms. Actually, they already started fulfilling some of these obligations.”

Salima Sugar started sponsoring the team back in 2020, December after being dumped by Japanese second-hand Car dealers, Be forward at the end of their contract.
Salima has been pumping in K60 million per year.
